You're right, it's like a banquet of Cheetos, Pepsi, and Twinkies. The People of Faith make me grumpy (I hate how her mom is spineless and in no way supportive of her), and the shoehorning in of the nun who blithely says that Nyx and the BVM are the same thing made me choke on my mocha at the bookstore. Damien's massive gay I don't mind terribly much, but his boyfriend's extremely effeminate behavior drives me up the wall, and the Twins are really starting to tick me off too. I honestly like Aphrodite more than any of her original friends at this point. And the constant referencing of the elements, and the random Cherokee phrases thrown in for good measure, and the never-ending pop culture references that are going to make the books dated and unreadable within a year...
They're fun reads, but essentially fluff. Fluff with fangs and big honking tattoos.
